This is Episode 1 of Connecticut Arts Talk, a new biweekly podcast hosted by William Boughton (conductor, former music director of the New Haven Symphony and Yale Symphony Orchestra) and Tom Duffy (longtime Director of Bands at Yale). Recorded live in the rehearsal room at Hartford Stage, the episode opens with the hosts' own backgrounds in music, then moves into a wide-ranging conversation with Hartford Stage managing director Cynthia — covering her path from actor to arts administrator, how the theater casts and builds productions, its nonprofit funding model, and the craft behind sets, lighting, costumes, and sound. The episode also includes an interview with Hartford Symphony Orchestra CEO Steve Collins about the orchestra's ongoing search for its next music director, a statewide arts events roundup, a lighthearted "bad reviews" segment, and a Connecticut history fact.
